Its a bit trial and errory but for anyone who wants to change the size of it right now, you can open resource\ui\ScoreBoard.res. Right at the bottom you should see "linespacing" under "PlayerList". Lower that, I set mine to 10 and can fit ~18 people on it

Then open resource\ClientScheme.res

Search for:

"Scoreboard" // Column titles and player list

You have to lower the font for the resolution you use so it fits corrently within the linespace we just changed. I'm on 1024 x 768 which yres is 768, so I find the entry which my yres falls under and lower the "tall" property, like:

Quote:

"3"
{
"name" "FortressForever - HUD Font"
"tall" "12"
"weight" "0"
"antialias" "1"
"dropshadow" "1"
"yres" "768 1023"
}

Works a treat!

Eh, my only problem with the scoreboard is the thing you use to scroll is barely visible.

Sureshot · 09-18-2007, 11:38 PM

This is mainly so you can fit all players on one screen, without having to scroll.

Oh, awesome.

A packet of Jaffa Cakes to anyone who gets it working for 1680x1050 resolution

I've tried and failed :/

If the scoreboard had teams side by side (like tf2) there wouldn't be a problem with scrolling.

Sureshot · 09-19-2007, 01:15 AM

Maybe, but this workaround does the job nicely.

thats true actually

I'd rather play a kickass game than have a perfect scoreboard. But that's just me.

Hi,

what would be the option to resize the ingame messages (text when you type sth etc.)?

SoBe Green · 09-29-2007, 08:04 PM

I didn't know this wasn't common knowledge.

Gauder · 09-30-2007, 02:26 PM

Well, it's not

SoBe Green · 10-09-2007, 12:54 AM

I wish someone would write an easy tutorial for a lot of this. Some of its so easy and its the easy visual things some people want but have no idea they can do it. I'd write one but I don't have time and when I was finished it wouldn't make any sense.
